Configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 for PROFINET and Ethernet/IP

The configurable control system PNOZmulti 2 for safety and automation from Pilz has two new communication modules for connection to Ethernet-based systems. With these, the base unit can now be expanded on the left-hand side and can easily be connected to PROFINET or Ethernet/IP networks. As an open, configurable control system, PNOZmulti 2 can be used flexibly across industry, independently of the higher-level operational control system.

PNOZmulti 2 enables easy-to-read diagnostic data and the use of virtual inputs/outputs for non-safety-related functions. User-friendly diagnostic and control information guarantees short downtimes and high plant availability. The switched interface prevents data collision; signalling and control is two-way via communication modules.

Virtual inputs and outputs are configured easily on the PC in the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator. There's no need for cumbersome wiring. The configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 can be used as a stand-alone or modular expandable version.
